At risk students – 10 Week Intensive Intervention Program

This intensive reading & writing intervention program is exclusive for at risk students in PP, Yr 1 & Yr 2 identified in 2024 as failing to meet developmental milestones in literacy.

Based on decades of repeated case studies, we know that without timely and regular intervention at risk students fall further and further behind with reading and writing whilst the rest of the class sail ahead.

To avoid ‘sinking ships’ and the ‘wait-to-fail’ approach adopted by some schools, we have opened up the opportunity for only 2 students per term to access an intensive 10 week literacy intervention program made up of 3 x 55 min sessions per week.

Frequent, individualised sessions with a specialist literacy teacher have a far greater impact than several small group sessions with an EA at school or a weekly tutoring session further down the track.

The goal is to reduce the gap between at risk students and their peers, so we believe it is best to ‘rip the band aid off!’ and address the problem as soon as possible.

In addition to the one on one sessions, we require parent support over the 10 weeks to ensure the online Nessy program is part of their weekly homework routine. This program perfectly compliments our work and will assist with revision and accelerate progress.

The intervention program is delivered by Marisa Schreier at her home in Woodlands and times and days are restricted.
